Puel out

[camberwell fox]

That’s not what I said.

But if I didn’t go I really wouldn’t be bothered about us being an entertaining side - I’d be more results focussed.

I care and see is very infrequently.

People talking like Puel will keep us up next season.

Can I ask what people have seen in 2018 that gives them this impression?

Absolutely **** all.

But let’s give him millions to spend in the summer and then give him time to get us in a relegation dogfight whilst boring us all to death, just for shits and giggles.

Looking at any range of dates between his appointment and now, we've never shown relegation form and mostly come in between 7th and 10th in any form table.

Bollocks to points etc. It's ****ing shit. We could be 6th and it would still be ****ing awful to watch. It's shit.

 

[Miles Away]

Home form is unacceptable.

Incidentally for those who have named Rodgers as a potential next manager (not that I’m against the idea), back pages tomorrow have him talking about how he would only leave Celtic for something extraordinary and therefore unlikely for the Arsenal job.

Clearly waiting for the call from Top then.

Shakespeare's final 17 league games resulted in 17 points (4 wins, 5 draws). These included 7 matches against 'big six' teams.

Puel's last 17 league games have resulted in 18 points (4 wins, 6 draws). These included 4 matches against 'big six' teams.

Shakespeare had far more good will among the players, owners and fans than Puel. What on earth makes anyone think that Vichai will allow this to go on into next season?

If there weren't only 4 games of the season remaining, he'd have been sacked on Thursday night.

Creating some nonsensical argument for keeping Puel for next season is a waste of time. He's a goner and I reckon everyone that matters knows it already. The reason that the players allowed the leak of what was said at half time is because they know it.

Puel could have pushed us on towards a 7th place finish and adapted his preferred style to the players at his disposal. It was his choice to go his own way and make a mess of it all. He had a fantastic opportunity that he probably didn't deserve and he has totally wasted it.

Good morning Mr Pot, you appear to be black.

I think we're back to the notion that the players are to some degree calling the shots at the club. If this is true then it needs to end ASAP or the club is ****ed long term. The wasted opportunity to move the club to the next level after 2016 is due to lots of factors but undue influence from the playing squad seems to have been an important one. I'd probably place it 2nd in importance behind piss poor recruitment.

Time to slam the fist on the desk & say "Your job is to play football...if you want to do anything else then use your money to buy your own club. Otherwise **** off"

There is,as we all know a shitload of dead wood at LCFC that needs shipping out in the Summer. Puel needs to be given the funds to bring in his own men & anyone who wants to oppose what he does needs to go.

If then we end up with a dismal failure...well off he goes too.

Only plan that makes sense. If we dump him sooner who the **** do you think would come in? Anyone half decent would have it confirmed that we're a shambolic joke of a club & we'd be back to the usual selection of ****s. Recruitment side of the club needs to be put on notice that any repeat of recent performance on their part is getting an instant P45. Shape up or ship out. Far too many passengers at the club still living off the glory & it's not confined to the playing squad. Time to change the way we do things or we'll end up like ****ing Sunderland.

For now lets all try to remember that it's only 3 years since most of us would have sold our souls for a top half Prem finish & stop wetting ourselves like a bunch of 11 year old girls at a One Direction gig.

I was ready to give Puel a good shot at it and see what he was going to do. But we’ve got an excellent attacking team and we’re about as incisive as a man trying to open a safe with an egg.

I don’t buy into this idea that the whole ideology of the club is down to the manager, not any more. Might have been true in the 90s but things change.

The most important thing we can do is have some direction and get a manager that fits it. As a club and a set of fans, what we appreciate and are used to is an aggressive team that fights hard to the bitter end.
It won us the league.

Why are we trying to copy Man City and Barcelona? We haven’t got the right mindset for it at all and to pump millions in on a single manager hoping it might happen seems crazy to me.

Talk to any united fan and they still don’t think Mourinho’s style of play “fits with the club”.
That’s not going to change any time soon.

A new multimillion pound training ground on the horizon. Talk of stadium expansion. Some very good players. Bags of money to spend.

They'd be queuing up.

Of course they would - they'd be all over us like a feckin rash

Sean Dyche anyone?

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Brendan Rodgers can ****ing jog on. My dog could pull off a Scots Prem title win with Celtic. Sean Dyche? Is he going to leave a club where he is building his own thing and looks to have earned a place in Europe next year? Not likely until at least after next season now. Wenger? No doubt will end up at a bigger club. We'll wind up playing take your pick from the managerial roundabout suspects or will have to take a chance on a young up and coming manager from a lower division. Maybe we'd have a chance at Wagner or Silva but both have struggled at the bottom of the league and I don't really rate either of them.

If we get rid of Puel, we'd best hope we can persuade Benitez to leave Newcastle because that's the only one we might have a chance at that would be an improvement.

Now at least some are starting to have the right conversation. Who gets the gig next?

We can offer:

1. An established Premier League job with owners investing heavily on and off the field
2. Inherit 9 Premier League champions and the best part of 20 full internationals
3. The cash to add several quality players to the squad this summer
4. We would pay top dollar to the right candidate making him in the top 15 highest paid managers in the game

If we can add the freedom to shape the support staff and recruitment as required, then I reckon you open it up to many, many, very strong candidates. It would certainly be very different to what we had to choose from last October.

Just one example of where I think we should be aiming. Emery will be sacked by PSG shortly, to be replaced by Tuchel. He'd be an ideal candidate. He built his reputation at Valencia and Seville tucked in just behind the big two and competing in European football (he won three successive Europa Leagues with Iborra as his captain). That's the sort of person our owners should be looking at. He's currently being linked with Real Sociedad and we can offer a much better package than them.

I used the example of Emery for another reason. If speculation is right, Puel wants to sign Ben Arfa for us this summer. A notorious waste of space of a player whose previous spell in England was comparable only to Balotelli in its shambolic nature. Emery currently manages Ben Arfa and has totally frozen him out for more than a year because his attitude stinks.

I've read speculation that Puel lost the changing room with his handling of the Mahrez situation. Whilst the players wanted Mahrez to be reintegrated, they disapproved of how quickly and easily Puel did it. Can you imagine how it would work with someone like Ben Arfa who goes missing all time and expects to be able to train/play when and how he wants?

Jesus, do you ever let it go?
